Thanks for sharing those colorful photos! I needed them!! When one of our kids played elite soccer, we went to a weekend tournament in Virginia in March and I didn’t want to come back home! Couldn’t believe that just a few hours south of us spring had arrived in all its glory while it was freezing cold and drab back home.

I really connected with your article about our current weather in the Northeast stifling your creativity. It was truly a joy to see color and feel warmth and blue sky in VA – as you remember from the soccer days!⚽️
